Go further than ever with active optical AV cables
By using optical fibres for the big-bandwidth video link, these cables are longer and more reliable than their copper-only counterparts. With 48Gbps of bandwidth, you can enjoy 8K video, audio, HDR and other HDMI 2.1 features when connecting a USB-C video source to a regular HDMI display or sink.
Immunity to outside interference means a more reliable signal, free from flickers and drop-outs regardless of the electronic environment they're installed in. That makes them perfect in critical applications for office, gaming and even light commercial use where a solid signal is needed and other cables won't reach.
Compatible in all the same places regular copper options go, this product will link your USB-C video source (eg: laptop or smartphone) to a standard HDMI display (eg: monitor, tv, projector, video distribution hub) and provide up to 8K60 resolution alongside multi-channel audio and all other available HDMI 2.1 features like HDR and DSC.
Cable Chick Tip: Always test directional cables before permanent installation to ensure correct operation.
